Thats incredible. With his accuracy, natural movement, arm angle, and off speed pitches, if he's sitting mid-90s he'll be incredibly tough to hit. I just hope his arm stats healthy, he's struggled with injuries since high school.

This is the key. Kid will be incredibly fun to watch the next couple of years if he stays healthy. After starting in the SEC for two years and having 2 years of post season experience under his belt and refining his pitches, he is going to be something special to watch next year.

I like him more than Ranaudo simply because Nola has exceptional control and an ability to locate all of his pitches. As good as Anthony was, he had control problems and I haven't seen that at all with Nola. Nola is going to be a stud, and probably a very high pick next year.
